Are jammers or speedos better?
If you are a competitive swimmer or triathlete looking to improve your speed and performance, swimming jammers may be the best choice for you. If you are looking for a more minimalistic and unrestricted swimwear option, swimming briefs may be the way to go. I swim 1-3 times a week in the same jammers and then wash them with the rest of my laundry. As for how long they last, that depends on the fabric. The Speedo Endurance+ jammers last forever, but they don’t fit quite as nicely as they are not stretchy. The nicer-fitting, stretchy jammers last maybe six months.Racing jammers are not designed for long-term wear or durability. Usually, a tech suit will last for about 6 to 12 races, depending on how it is used and looked after. Therefore, most swimmers only use these suits in big races.

Why do Olympic swimmers no longer wear speedos?
In July 2009, FINA voted to ban non-textile (non-woven) swimsuits in competitive events from 2010. The new policy was implemented to combat the issues associated with performance-enhancing swimsuits, hindering the ability to accurately measure the performance of swimmers. In its ruling in 2008, FINA deemed the LZR Racer swimsuits provide an unfair advantage to the wearer, leading to a ban on all swimsuits of a similar nature.
